Week 4
Ever since I came out on my mission I knew that President and Sister Call were going to one day leave, never once did I really feel sad about it. I was always excited that I would have two mission Presidents during the duration of my mission. BUT WOW WAS I SO SAD THIS WEEK. On Friday we had the whole mission gathered for President Calls last zone conference. We all learned a really good deal about how to become better missionaries. Then we took a break and had lunch. Then at the end President Call said goodbye and it was very moving. He choked up and it made me emotional, and then we sang a closing song, we sang "God be with you till we meet again" also sad.
While it was sad I know it had to happen, and now we get to welcome in President and Sister Johnson, I even met them by accident at the Mission office this morning while picking up dish soap. They had meetings all morning but took their time to come out and greet 4 goofy elders with warm smiles and hugs from President Johnson. I know and I have a testimony that the Church is led by revelation and that President and Sister Johnson are meant to be here at this time. We are so blessed to have been able to learn from the loving and Christlike example of President Call and now to have President Johnson here with us.
Week 5
We had our interviews with President Johnson this week and I really enjoyed the time I got to spend getting to know President and Sister Johnson. One of the first things he asked me was if I would get my district to get up on p-day and clean their apartments. It was not what I expected but I said of course. It made a lot of sense how he explained it though. It'll be clean throughout the week and it'll help us to not worry about it and just focus totally on teaching. He also said that it'll help us to build good habits and be very organized with our time and such.
Also we have been getting to know a lot of the members in our ward, and they have been making us dinners during the week. The food is sooo good by the way and also, Latinos have the best sense of humor! I love joking around with them and when they make fun of me, that’s funny too.
We have been staying busy and trying to find more people, we only found one new person this last week but I know that there are more out there who are prepared to hear our message. So please pray for us that we can find them and that they will be open to our message.
Ok well I gotta go but I love and miss you all.
Check out this cool scripture this week Jeremiah 4:18-20
